Monday night for supper...

Monday night for supper we had my all time favorite dish.  It is called "Stir-Fry Sunday Supper" and I got it out of the Ladies Home Journal.  They held a Heart-to-Heart Recipe Contest and this recipe won.  It was submitted by Barbara C. Bernard of Holyoke, Mass.  She said she got the recipe from her mother but as she and her husband became more health conscious she changed it around a bit.  So thanks Barbara because I love it!  I cook this almost every week.  

Stir-Fry Sunday Supper

Ingredients
2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 large garlic cloves, minced
2 tbls. reduced-sodium soy sauce (I don't use reduced)
4 tsp. cornstarch
1 tsp. ground ginger
1 cup fresh orange juice
4 tsp. peanut oil
1 lb. shiitake or portabello mushrooms, stems discarded, thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups coarsely grated carrot
2 celery stalks, sliced (I omit the celery)
4 cups cooked brown rice
sliced scallion, for garnish (I omit the scallion)

Pound the chicken slightly to thin and cut crosswise into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick). Whisk together garlic, soy sauce, 2 teaspoons cornstarch and the ginger in a large bowl, for marinade.  Add chicken, turning to coat, cover and chill  for 45 minute, stirring occasionally.

Whisk together juice and remaining 2 teaspoons cornstarch in a small bowl until dissolved.

Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a skillet over high heat, until hot but not smoking.  Remove chicken from marinade and add to skillet, saute' turning occasionally, until golden brown, about 5 minutes.  Transfer to a bowl.  Add remaining 2 teaspoons oil, the mushrooms, carrot and celery to the skillet, saute' over moderately high hear until tender, about 5 minutes.  Return chicken to skillet, add juice-cornstarch mixture and bring to a boil.  Stir until sauce thickens, about 3 minutes.

Serve over rice and garnish with scallion (or not).  

It says this serves 8... but not in my house!
